Many employers
provide health benefits to their workers that go above and beyond
the typical medical insurance. This may take the form of incentive
programs for improving health, discounts on fitness centers, or
employee assistance programs (EAPs) that provide various
health-related services. But there’s a new star on the health
horizon called LifeSpeak. This is an entire wellness platform that
employers can make available to employees, giving them free,
anonymous access to an enormous library of health information,
discussion forums, and even live interaction with health experts on
a variety of topics, including a great deal related to mental
health.
